I also love the wolf analogy and she's sharing Bush some sicks. :D

[Wickerman]

2. the lady with the wolves analogy?

Not sure, but she is actually worth listening to.

3. Rev. Sharon Watkins, I believe

I'm so sick of all this religion and nationalism.

5. Thanks

Sometimes the message is more important than the messenger.

6. No shit.

And, I might add, I find her manner of speaking to be MOST annoying.

We...must...stand...for...ever...in...his...grace...

:wtf:

The gentleman singing "Amazing Grace", however...beautiful to hear!

7. What a helluva voice on this man; I'm enjoying all the music. nt

8. Maybe I'm better at ignoring the mumbo jumbo

than you. I mean why watch it if you're not expecting mumbo jumbo from a church service :D
I'll take away the wolf analogy (although I already know it) and the beautiful singing.

Lovely voice indeed.

9. Some of the prayer deliveries were quite good, but the music was better!

I liked how it moved from one faith to another...the briefer the better (less is more?) ;)

[malaise]

10. I can't recall a word that most of them said

I'm only interested in the politics of religious theater so I actually heard the wolf analogy. The music was lovely. :D

[NYC_SKP]

11. Please share the angry wolf analogy!

I missed it, came into the one word-by-word delivery (Sharon?) followed by "Amazing Grace" and the other prayers.

What was the wolf analogy? Pretty please!

13. Not exactly the version she told, but here it is.

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"

The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."

14. Oh, THAT wolf story. I LOVE that story, it is sooooo true! Thanks! nt
